TMNT on Teletoon Retro!
 

I saw this post over at ToonZone! It looks like Canuck fans might be in luck!

Is there any plans for the 80s TMNT to rerun stateside anytime soon?

wow thats freakin awesome, and nope no news has been given expect for the new NICK TMNT coming along, course that could be what you all are getting as well.

Great news indeed! Now, since Nickelodeon doesn't own the rights to the classic series, it doesn't mean that it isn't possible, but basically any Nick channel, Boomerang, or even a network like Hub (which is airing Gem) are prime targets for reairing in the US. 2012 is shaping up to be a huge year!
Interestingly it says "new episodes", though in Canada I've heard that the Red Sky seasons weren't shown due to violence from an earlier topic we posted on here so it would be the first time those episodes would air in Canada. But considering the channel is called "Teletoon Retro", it would most likely be the original series, though the 4Kids series is always a possibility considering how some outlets consider "classic" series that ended just a few years ago, such as George Lopez and Scrubs. Now if only one episode aired a week, that means it would take nearly four years to air the entire series (ending in late 2015 if it lasts).

I have never heard of teletoon. Wish i got it if they do air the ot.

Rock. Teletoon Retro is a great channel.

For Americans, Teletoon is like Cartoon Network (not owned by that company, though). The regular channel is not as good as Cartoon Network, but Teletoon Retro is far and away better than Boomerang. My opinion, of course.

Exciting! I might try to watch... even though I have the DVDs but watching them on TV is just so much more fun and it'll bring back memories....

Hm. Looks like I don't have that channel. Oh well!

I wonder what this means for Season 10?

It's called patience my friend.

Omg!! I'm so excited! This is great news! Since He-man and She-ra were recently added to the network, I was wondering if or when Tmnt would ever eventually be on as well! I wanted Tmnt since the network first launched

So I take it this is not for the U.S?

Confirmed! It is the 1980s series! Coming in April!

The ooze was purple...

Mutagen :twink:

The "original" mutagen that changed the Turtles, Splinter, Bebop, and Rocksteady was purple. It changed colors... a lot.

I always thought it was pink.

Hot digity daffodils!! :tcool:

[Napoleon Dynamite]Jester... get up and put in your DVD's you fat lard![/Napoleon Dynamite]

Touchè my friend. Touchè

Lucky bastards. :P I hope that the show comes to the US as well.

Cartoon Network is the US equivilant to Teletoon, so maybe they'll put out a "retro" channel

They already have Boomerang.

Well I'll make sure to record "Planet of the Turtleoids" and "Once upon a Time Machine" when they air on TV at the very least.

I wonder if this means a Season 10 DVD release is imminent. Most likely they would want to sell all the seasons on DVD before they air on TV for free.

I doubt this show's airing on a Canadian network has any bearing on its US home video release.

I never quite understood why one of the most successful cartoons of all-time went off airwaves in 1997 and never return at least in the United States. Is it x party holding the rights to the show or what gives? It sucked having to wait years to see those not on VHS and the few others I managed to tape.

Ah yes, Boomerang, the "retro" channel wehich airs fresh episodes of My Little Pony: FIM, Garfield and Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated on a fairly daily basis (at least over here in the UK) :P

ditto

that's good

Is this the first time the original cartoon has ever aired on TV since the late 90's?

I know in some places it continued to air a bit longer than when it ended in the US.

Since USA dropped it, anyhow.

I believe the last time was USA's Cartoon Express until 96. Can anyone imagine that USA used to air cartoons in the mornings, anymore? Boy, times have changed. Why it never appeared somewhere else, like pre or post-Toonami Cartoon Network, I don't know.

Either way, this is why Canada has nice things. Good for them, though.

i know it hasn't aired up here in ages! since whenever it stopped airing up here sometime in the mid-late 90s any way

now we'll get it on Teletoon Retro, which is sweet!

now if only we could get Next Mutation to air on Netflix up here i'd get plenty of TMNT goodness til the new cartoon airs! :D

Hey, all!! According to the schedule, TMNT on Teletoon Retro kicks off on March 31st at 12:00 PM Central with a three hour marathon consisting of the entire pilot and Return of the Shredder!! :D

With the advent of digital cable do US cable companies offer Teletoon Retro?

Wow. I guess this is where people should get high quality versions of Planet of the Turtleoids from.

I highly doubt it will get that far. :( With Teletoon Retro's record they will either play just the syndicated seasons or just from the first episode til partway through the third season.

Reminds me of the BBC's crude treatment of TMNT (aka TMHT), they only showed seasons two and three.

Or the last time they aired here (20 years ago!!) they skipped Turtle Tracks and once the out-of-order episodes came out, "Enter" The Shredder"!! I'm not sure what the deal was there.

Sweetness!

for sure, look at MMPR! i mean playing just repeats after repeats of season 1 for cripesakes! :tgrumble:

I hear ya!! So far, out of the shows I've watched on there, only Thundercats and Batman TAS have made it far, and their seasons are 65 episodes. Only the first seasons though. So I'm hoping TMNT does well. :) Maybe it's a rights thing.
